Friends’ Nights at Aryaloka are from 6:45-9:15 p.m., when we gather to meditate and explore aspects of Buddhism through workshops, talks, study, ritual, or discussion. The emphasis is on practical application of Buddhist principles in our own lives. Although there is no fee for this event, donations are appreciated.
The 40-minute silent meditation in the main shrine room is typically not guided. An option for a guided meditation is offered in the library, after which, you can join the rest of the group for the second half of the evening. If you prefer to have more intensive prior instruction, see the Programs section for more information on introductory classes.
Friends’ Night activities include:
• 6:45 – Tea and announcements
• 7:00 – Meditation
• 8:00 – Study, discussion, or talk on the evening’s topic
• 9:15 – End
With all of the activities, you are free to participate or to just sit and listen – nothing is compulsory.
